How to insert a memory card into Huawei and Honor - step-by-step instructions

How to insert a flash drive into Honor and Huawei? At first glance, this is a simple action. However, many inexperienced or new smartphone owners do not even know where the slot is or whether it exists. If you just purchased a device and want to install a flash drive in it, this step-by-step instructions is for you.

Why are applications not saved to the memory card?

We hasten to disappoint you - in some devices it will not be possible to allow automatic installation to MicroSD using software. In particular, this applies to devices running Android 4.4.2 and higher – right down to the “marshmallow”. Fortunately, there is third-party software that allows you to do this. But let’s not rush things – we’ll find out about everything in order. Let's find out the version of Android
Well, now let's sort everything out. First, we need to find out the Android version.

— Go to the menu; — Go to “Settings”; — Scroll to the very bottom and click on the “About phone” item; — In the submenu that opens, look for information on the version;

In this case it is Android 5.1.1. This method is suitable for both smartphones and tablets. As a matter of fact, on this device, without “external” intervention, it will not be possible to ensure that all applications are automatically installed on the card. But, as you have already noticed, we have third-party firmware with built-in Root rights.

With their help, you can easily install additional software, which, working in the background, will “scatter” all the files from programs and games across a flash drive.

Working with the tablet's internal memory

The internal memory of many models is low, however, any user should know how to work with it: how to move data (files and folders) from the integrated memory to a memory card without using a desktop PC.

Attention: some icons in the screenshots may differ from your device, depending on the model and version of Android!

To move or copy a file from the internal memory, first make sure that a FAT32 formatted card is inserted into the tablet. Also make sure that there is enough free space on the card. Go to: Applications (Menu) => My files. Select the required file or folder. Press it and do not release it for 2-4 seconds. A check mark will appear. Press “Menu”; You will see a window with possible options.

Click on Move/Cut (specific arrow/scissors). When copying - “two sheets superimposed on one another.” Specify the “SD card” folder. Specify your destination, then confirm your action.

How to make the storage a regular flash drive again?

If you wish, you can undo changes made using the Adoptable Storage feature. Follow these steps:

• Follow the above method until the “Tap name...” step.
• Click on it.
• Click the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.
• Click "format as internal".
• Click Format. The process will take no more than a few minutes.

Now you can use the SD card as a portable storage device and mount it on any other Android device.

Tablet technology is developing at a rapid pace, tablets have received new capabilities, processing power has increased, and storage media has become smaller and more spacious than before. Memory cards have recently become cheaper, while their capacity is increasing. This trend in the tablet market has given new opportunities to game and application developers.

Users also received new opportunities. Music lovers can now easily load all their favorite albums onto a memory card, and those who like to watch full-length movies using a tablet will be able to save dozens of hours of video on one memory card. How should you choose a memory card? What do you need to know and what features need to be taken into account?

Saving applications to a memory card for Android 2.2 – 4.2.2

Everything here is extremely simple and banal:

1. We still go to the menu and look for “Settings” there - the icon, as a rule, resembles a gear in appearance - there should be no problems finding it;

2. Next, look for the “Memory” sub-item. In our case, it is located between “Screen” and “Battery”. The menu may differ depending on the device manufacturer. The screenshot shows an example of a clean version of Android, without shells that are preinstalled at the manufacturing plants;

3. And now the most important thing - tap once on the “SD card” item, located below the inscription: “Default recording disk”. On the contrary, a circle or a tick should appear;

4. Profit! Now all applications downloaded through the Play Market will be automatically installed on external memory.

By the way, if the flash drive is slow, and there are such things, then applications may not work correctly. So buy a good SD card - don't skimp.

What to do with devices running Android KitKat and higher?

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to do this without obtaining Root rights.
Google has officially stopped supporting this feature in new versions of the operating system. The fact is that cloud services are becoming more widespread and, as a result, problems with insufficient memory should not arise. But in our country there is no such high-speed Internet as in the USA, and traffic is not cheap, so clouds are not in demand. Is there any way to make sure that applications are automatically installed on the memory card? As we said above, this is real.

If you have a tablet from one of the Chinese companies, then it probably already has built-in Root rights, but you will have to tinker with other manufacturers. Naturally, in the course of this article we cannot talk about obtaining them, because the process for each gadget is unique - the instructions can only fit into a multi-volume book. But oh well, it doesn't matter.

You can contact a specialist with a request to install Root rights or do it yourself at home. The last option is the most risky; there is a chance to turn your gadget into a so-called “brick” and only be able to restore it in one of the service centers. However, if you have already carried out a similar procedure, there should be no problems. As a last resort, on the Internet you can also find solutions to these same problems. So, go ahead and experiment!

• Somehow we have strayed quite far from the main topic of the article. So, let's return to the instructions: Using any of the possible methods (flashing, unlocking the bootloader, etc.) we get Root rights;
• Go to Google Play;
• In the search bar we write: “SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD” - this is the assistant application that will be useful to us in the future. Let's install it. We hope this doesn't need to be explained to anyone? Just tap once on the “Install” button and the process will take place automatically, after which a shortcut to launch will appear in the menu;
• We open it and see a bunch of, most likely incomprehensible, inscriptions in English. There is no need to translate them - everything is resolved in a few clicks;
• Click on “Continue”, as shown in the first screenshot;
• We tick our agreement that by clicking the “Continue” button, the device will be slightly modified;
• We wait literally a couple of minutes until the orange screen changes to green.
• On the green screen we are informed that automatic installation of applications on the SD card has been successfully enabled.

Actually, that's all. And the most difficult thing in this whole matter is obtaining Root rights. Fortunately, on the Internet there are step-by-step instructions for all gadgets that have ever hit store shelves, and there are plenty of instructions on our website.

How to insert a memory card into a Huawei tablet

The instructions for tablets are not much different:

• open the slot;
• enter SD/microSD;
• close;
• reboot the gadget.

When you turn on your smartphone or tablet, there will be a notification in the status bar that new media has been found in the device. Using the functions of this window you can make settings. For example, set the path to save downloaded files or transfer applications from internal storage there. It is also now possible to view information about both internal and external drives in Explorer.

This instruction will be useful not only for owners of Huawei and Honor, but also for other owners of phones with Android OS. If for some reason your phone or tablet does not see the new media, then try inserting it into another device. If it reads, then you should look for a breakdown in your device. If it reads, then change the drive, as this one is damaged.

Using memory cards

Today, few people can imagine their life without tablets. These electronic devices have become cheaper and more powerful, and their storage capacity has become more spacious. The first and most important accessory that a user purchases with a tablet is a memory card. Without a drive, it is impossible to fully use the tablet.

Built-in memory is not always enough. By expanding the memory, the tablet's capabilities increase several times: from now on, the user can install more games and applications from the Play Market or a third-party resource; can record more music on the tablet, more videos.

Many users make mistakes. In order not to make a mistake and purchase a 100% suitable memory card for your tablet, you need to take into account several extremely important points.

Speed ​​classes

Although many drives may look the same, there is an important point that you should always pay attention to.

Attention: when purchasing, pay attention to the speed class of the memory card!

Speed ​​is the most important parameter that you should pay attention to before purchasing a drive. The higher the speed, the faster the tablet will be able to save information, play large video files, etc.

Card classes and their write speed are presented in the table. Please note that read speeds may be higher than advertised, but write speeds are generally always as advertised.

Many new users get confused when they come across the “SDHC” designation when choosing a drive for their device. You need to know what the SDHC format is and what advantages it has. SDHC is the next generation of regular SD cards, respectively, MicroSDHC are smaller drives used by most modern tablets. This format supports up to 32 GB, which means you can store more information in the same card size.

Attention: before purchasing, be sure to make sure that the capacity of the card you are purchasing is supported by your tablet!

A common mistake made by users is to buy a card and later find out that the tablet does not support this capacity. Study the characteristics of the tablet before you go to the store to buy a drive!
